I am trying qtweb , and I have some questions :
- why is their forum down (http://qtweb.net/smf/) ?
- where can we report bugs ? for instance QTweb 3.8.5 crashes on start
- why are those certificate errors ? where does that /etc/ca-certificates.conf come from ? why is update-ca-certificates script not in puppy ? and we dont have the /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt and /etc/ssl/certs is empty...
- I cannot get flash to work if removing seamonkey ? anyone know where to set flash ? variables ? files ?
- is it possible to compile qtweb ?

I'm very encouraged to see that active development of QtWeb is ongoing, with a new release last month.

I've just been taking a sniff (belated thanks, ttuuxxx, for the PET). It seems to me that this has the makings of a very good Puppy browser for the (increasing?) number of us who do not require an email client built-in.

I'm really impressed that it offers a means of enabling/disabling cookies and JavaScript directly from the keyboard, which IMHO has been an unaddressed screaming need with its bigger rivals for years.

The showstopper: from my attempts to understand the file structure, I figure that bookmarks are concealed within the big binary. If that is the case, the prospect of transferring my several hundred MB of cherished bookmarks one-by-one is simply not acceptable - that's a killer.

Grrr, QtWeb has now set itself up as my default browser without my so requesting it. IMHO this is a really cheap-and-nasty move on the part of the devs, if it is of their doing, which ensures that I shall expunge it from my system.

Nonetheless, I do hope that in due course the developers will go on to produce an eminently worthy rival to the overcomplicated job-creation schemes which the Mozilla folks seem increasingly keen to thrust upon us.

I haven't seen the pet you are using but when you use the QtWeb binary it creates two folders, QtWebCache and QtWebSettings, in the same location as the binary. The bookmarks are contained in /QtWebCache/bookmarks.xbel. This file can be opened and edited as a text file. I believe when the file unins000.exe is included, which makes the browser portable, this overrides the creation of these folders.

QtWeb does not set itself up as the default browser. I suspect it is setup that way in the .pet you have used.
